is chuck hagel going to be confirmed as secretary of state? and also john brennan is still hanging out there. >> if he is, i think he will be very weakened secretary of defense. he has not given a good performance so far. my concern is the obama administration has gone from people like bob gates and jim jones, to basically pals of the president, cronies from senate, people who have never really run anything. i'm not so much worried about the policies as i am by the people. >> i guess that tom is right he will be confirmed. this has been become an extremely partisan debate, unusual for secretary of defense. he will be significantly weakened especially in what he's going to need to do. you have a real battle shaping up now for who-- how the pie is divided in terms of military spending, and congress will play a big role, and his ability to work with congress, sadly after this confirmation process is reduced. >> schieffer: margaret, are we ever going to get the answer to what the president knew that night that those four americans lost their lives
